Hello Gentlemen! I'm here to inform you that the 12th Italian Kick Off Championship will be held in Milan on Sunday 14th September 2014! The tournament will be hosted in the usual venue we used for the last few years, hopefully we are proud to show the famous [IQSSF] certificate for our amiga stations !The tournament is open to foreigners and of course you are welcome the the gathering!This tournament will be also a good training for the upcoming Copenhagen world cup. The competition will start in the morning just after a good cappuccino and brioches @ Bar Torrefazione (who knows, understand what I mean) we will make a one hour break for pizza-time and the tournament is planned to end in mid afternoon allowing people to get back home. so it will be a one-day-tournament.Venue is already confirmed and the cost will not depend on attendance: the fee is 10€ each player and this fee will include some drink and snacks.

Official KOA Hotel is: the usual http://www.hotel22marzo.com/I know you liked it, it isn't the best one you have ever seen but It is cheap, quiet, clear, 30 seconds walk to venue, 3 minutes walk to Kick Off House. If you need it, please, ask me and I can reserve a room for you!Of course the Kick Off House will be open 24/7 to play KO2 for the whole week end, but it isn't a news.The plan is to start the tournament at 10.00.Even if we have enough hardware to play all the the games for every round (i.e. 20 players and 10 amigas) I want to use the world cup standard, so 1 amiga for 3 players, I want to keep it in this way as it will be possible to have some break between games, having the possibility to see some games and to have some chat. If you need any info about hotel, travel, etc. please ask me!

Diego D, Michele L, Marco B, Denny M e Fabrizio R are confirmed.Maybe there will be a couple on new players, people that played much in the past.

Get in touch with a couple of friends that joined the world cup 2007 and few Italian tournaments in the past: Alessandro G and Simone (we saw them at the 2012 Saturday night world cup dinner, without joystick). few chances to have them both, together with their joystick this time!

The most encouraging thing to me is to see that some of the players that confirmed their attendance are people that attended a tournament for the fist time at the Milan world cup 2012. To organize a world cup has his own price, but it gives you something back later.Andrea R and Paolo S confirmed their attendance too.

Edit: I add 50% of Robert! just would like to know: in which way is he split? vertical? horizontal?

Paolo D although he said he could make it for the world cup, he will miss surely the IC2014.On the other hand we have the confirmation by Fabio R and the possible attendance by his friend Massimo M (WC2012).Flavio is among the most probably coming although he isn't confirmed yet.

Hi, I am new, and I would like to come to the Italian Champs in Milan next 14th september. I've been playing for several years but always alone, and obviously I've never attended to a kick off tournament.

Jaume P from Spain is confirmed! wow! so also this year the Italian championship will host foreigners! a nice tradition Also Massimo M confirmed his attendanceStill chances for the Fichera bros and Troglosfingers crossed!
